Schullo

"blow up (X) bombs" menu-entry you are too far away from the charges. position yourself between the houses facing the bridge in the vincinity of the arms cache" --- tried it there and I tried it under the bridge next to the satchels. No option to blow the satchels. Do you have to get to the arms cache and reload PRIOR to being able to blow the satchels? Or should I have the ability to blow the satchels immediately after dropping them under the bridge? "Have you updated your game to 1.08 version" -- yes. I actually have the ARMA Gold edition (1.08 out of the box) with the 1.12 beta patch. I am going to try reverting back to base 1.08 to see if I get the option to blow the satchels. Strange........ I appreciate everyone's input on a seemingly stupid issue.

I am on the SP mission where satchel charges must be placed under the bridge to blow it up. I place the charges and go to the "safe" location indicated on the map but I cannot blow up the satchel charges. What am I missing? Thanks very much.

Ok. I give up. I place all five satchels under the bridge and sprint to the nearest arms cache. I wait for the flash command and use my middle mouse wheel. There is no command to blow up the five satchels no matter how far my player is from the bridge. I can be standing under the bridge or at the arms cache or across the river. No option to blow the bridge using my middle mouse wheel. If I pick up a satchel from the arms cache and place it somewhere, I have the options of deactivating it, setting a timer or setting it off. I do not get these options with the five that I start the mission with. What am i doing wrong or missiong? Thanks for everyone's input. S

Thanks folks. I will give it a try later today.

How do you set a timer on it? According to the script, I am supposed to wait for a signal (which I get) from another soldier before setting it off. As far as going a safe distance, I go to the spot noted on the map. S
